The states I am working in are Idaho, Washington, Alaska ( Fairbanks) and finally Hawaii ( Big Island maybe Maui)

I joined the Army in early 2013 and am currently stationed in Washington state.

I just bought my first property in Indiana (I live in WA) and I'm totally comfortable with it.

It's weird.ya know maybe they ( millennials ) read the articles  … and think they should rent.. and I do know that homeownership East of the Mississippi in general is not coveted as much as on the coasts .. were even here in Portlandia Millennials buy most of the starter housing.. but they also buy condo's down town and rent.. but agreed.. first thing anyone should do in IMHO is buy them selves a home if they plan on living in a community any length of time. and in lower priced areas go ahead and buy it anyway.. get in for the lower down and better interest and if you move wa la you have a rental already bought.. paying rent is a fools errand..   

@William Washington with the limited information in your post, it sounds like you may be offering a security and should be setting up a Reg D offering (syndication).

We talked to our trustee about foreclosures in Nevada and it sounds like there's still a backlog but I'm sure it should get better in the next few months.Oregon and Washington have the same mediation laws..

Most properties are in Woodlawn, South Chicago, Calumet Heights, Washington Heights, Washington Park, South Chicago, and Bronzeville.
